My beast is no more!

On Friday April 2ND Jon and I went to go see Clash of the Titans. We ordered our tickets online and picked them up, but when we got to the theater they had over sold for that show.We went out and got tickets to the later show since the boys were at a friends house for the night. We went to go to the mall just down the street. We turned Left onto to the road going north and started to speed up to the speed limit. Well a 2009 BWM going south decide to make a left turn (trying to beat us at making her turn) and found a cement curb blocking the parking lot she wanted to go into. Needless to say she didn't make her turn and stopped across both north bound lanes and we and no where to go. Jon was able to turn the Rav-4 to the left and only hit her with the front right corner of our car but we slid down the whole passenger side of her car. If he hadn't tried to avoid her at all we would have t-boned her and the air bags would have deployed. I don't know what would have happened to the baby but thank goodness he was quick thinking of me and the baby. So here are the pictures of my beast. The other drivers insurance is totaling it, so the hunt is on for a new SUV. We are very sore and hurting but OK. Baby is doing good and moving like the monster he is (he takes after his older brothers). Jon's neck and upper back are were his injuries are. He gets to see the chiropractor, a massage therapist and physical therapy 3 times a week. I have ribs out (I thought I was having trouble breathing because of being pregnant) and the left side of my neck and shoulder are were my injuries are. The whole front is moved to the drivers side and pushed back. The front was pushed back so that it was on the tire. They (Jon and his Dad)had to pry it out just to be able to move the car. Yes Jon did drive it home. We would have had to pay for the tow truck that night and the wait to get reimbursed by her insurance. If you know my hubby that was not even an option so he drove it and I rode with his dad home. Thank you Dave for coming to help us, and thank you Mom and Dad for being ready to be there if we needed to two it with the truck. It doesn't look that bad but there is damage to the strut tower and the core support which make it unsafe to be on the road and very hard to fix.
